Researchers who are interested in submitting a proposal for data collection in 2024 should keep the following deadlines in mind: The call for submissions is already open, and if you would like to submit a proposal, you should send an informal expression of interest to soep-is@diw.de by May 31, 2023. If a project is determined to be feasible from a survey methodology perspective, the official submission procedure will follow. The template for proposals must be completed and submitted by June 30, 2023. Data will usually be collected between March and June of the following year.  More information can be found here.

If you’re interested in the datasets that are already available, contact the SOEP Research Data Center. To find out what modules have been included in previous SOEP-IS surveys, see the SOEP-IS Companion.

We look forward to many exciting proposals from the research community!

Data access

The SOEP-CMI-ADIAB data are provided only after users have signed data distribution contracts with both SOEP and IAB. Initially, a guest visit to the IAB’s Research Data Center is required, after which the data can be used via remote data processing. Further information on how to apply for a guest visit can be found here. The SOEP-CMI-ADIAB data will only be available for a limited time, so data distribution contracts will only extend up to December 31, 2026.

Test data

Stata test data for the IAB part of the dataset are available to users to allow error-free programs to be written for remote data processing and to prepare for guest visits. These test data cannot be used for substantive analysis, however. There are no test data for the SOEP survey data part.

Data documentation

Detailed information on the SOEP-CMI-ADIAB dataset is provided in FDZ-Datenreport 03/2023, which is available in both German and English:
